Bhattacharya,
Alok (Molecular Biologist)
Professor Bhattacharya has done pioneering work on the identification
and characteristation of lipophosphoglycan and its modulation
by bacterial flora and a novel species-specific calcium binding
protein and its gene in Entamoeba histolytica. Identification
of these molecules has opened up avenues to understand pathogenesis
at the molecular level. Professor Bhattacharya is instrumental
in establishing the Bioinformatic Center in the Jawaharlal
Nehru University. He received Science Exhibition Award, Delhi
University, 1968 and 1969; Robert McNamara Fellow of the World
Bank, 1985-86; Rockefeller Biotechnology Career Development
Award, 1988-90; Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, 1994 etc.

Datta,
Asis (Molecular Biologist)
Professor Datta's recent work on the cloning and characterisation
of two novel genes attracted international acclaim and has opened
up a new area of research. His work on pathogenic yeast using
Candida albicans as a model system to diagnose candidaiasis,
which usually occur as a secondary infection in the AIDS infected
patients, has provided an opportunity to investigate the control
of expression of functionally linked genes. He received many
awards and honours including Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize,
1980; Guha Memorial Award, 1988; The first GD Birla Award, 1991;
Nityanand Award, 1993; FICCI Award, Om Prakash Bhasin Award,
Ranbaxy Award and Padma Shri in 1999. |

Karmeshu
(Mathematician)
Professor Karmeshu worked as Dean of the School of Computer
and System Sciences in the Jawaharlal Nehru University from
1987-89. He published over 90 research papers in international
journals. His work has been extensively cited in journals
and books. Several books have devoted exclusive sections discussing
Professor Karmeshu's mathematical models and techniques. He
worked as a Member of the Editorial Boards of journals including
Stochastic Hydrology and Hydraulics by Springer
International. He received Dr. C.M. Jacob Gold Medal of Systems
Society of India in 1990. He won Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar prize
in 1993.

Pal,
Sankar Kumar ( Engineer-Computer)
Dr. Pal has pioneered the integration of neural networks with
fuzzy logic and propounded 'Neuro-Fuzzy Theory'. He also developed
a software for forensic science that enables computers to work
on distorted finger prints to get full print. He won many awards
including Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, 1990; NASA Space Act
Technology Award, 1993; Hari Om Prerit, Vikram Sarabhai Research
Award, 1993; Patent Application Award, NASA Invention and Contribution
Board, USA, 1995 etc. |

Rajaraman,
Ramamurti (Physicist)
Professor Rajaraman conducted outstanding research work in the field
of elementary particle theory, quantum field theory, solitons and
nuclear many body theory. He won many prestigious national and international
awards including Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, 1983; G.P. Chatterjee
Lecture Award, 1989 and Bose Medal in 1995.
